A LESSON VITA A MORAL
WHEN WILL OUR EYES BE OPENED To THIS
GREAT NATIONAL CALAMITY?

The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men Of our country.
Many of them died without warning.
passing away apparently in the full
| flush of life.
Others were sick but comparatively
short time. We turn TO our files and
are astonished 10 find that most of them
died Of a Joplexy. OF paralysis. of nerv
| Gus prosiration, of malignant blood
humor. OF Brights disease, OF heart dis
ease, of kidney disease, of rheumatism
or of pneumonia.
1t is singular that most Of our promi-
nent men die of these disorders. Any
Journalist who watches the telegraph
reports will be astonished AT the number
of prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in
| our paper with others to the effect that
the diseases that carried of so many
prominent men i'm 1856 are really one
disease, taking different names accord
ing to the location of the fatal effects.
When a valuable horse perishes, il be-
comes the nine days talk of the sporting
world. and yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every day. their ag-
gregate loss is enormous, and yet their
death creates no comment.
So il is with individuals. The cause
of death of prominent men creates COM
ment, especially when IL can be shown
that one unsupported disease carries off
most of them, and yet "vast numbers of
ordinary men and women die before
their time every year from the same
cause"
1t is said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia. rheu-
matism, and many cases of consumption,
would never be known. This uric
acid, we are told, is the waste of the
system, and it is the duty Of the kid.
news TO remove this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney. acid is kept out of the blood, and
these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in large meas
ure, disappear.
But how shall this be done? It's folly
to treat effects. If there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known TO the public. We be-
lieve that Warmers safe cure of which
so much has been written, and so much
talked of by the public generally. and
| which can be obtained of dealers every
where, is now recognized by impartial
physicians and the public us the one
specific for such diseases.
Because public attention has been di-
recte TO this great remedy by means of
! advertising, some persons have not be-
! leved in the remedy. We cannot See
! how Mr.. Warner could immediately
benefit the public in any other WAY.
and his valuable specific should not be
condemned becauS" some nostrums have
come before the public in the same way,
any more than that all doctors should
be condemned because SO many OF them
are incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side Of that great REM
edy. aud public opinion thus huSed upon
an actual experience. has all the weight
and importance ~ absolute truth.
At this time OF the year, the uric acid
in the blood invites pnemOniaand rheu-
lnatitm, and there is not man who
does not dread these monsters of dis
ease; but he need have no fear Of them,
We are told if he rid the blood OF tie
uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may
sound like an advertisement. and be re-
jrcfed AS such by unthinking people.
but we believe they are the truth and
as such should by every truth-loving
new spaper.
